Arbitration is a brilliant alternative to court, with the same framework and legal standing but a much shorter time period. It also gives couples more involvement in the process. 

In this interview the ‘Queen of Arbitration’, Susanne Kingston, takes us through the process and the benefits including:

1. Significantly reduced timelines from 12 - 18 months to 3 -4 months.
2. More involvement in the overall process.
3. Covering both finances and child arrangements.
4. Better outcomes for couples who need to maintain a relationship post divorce.
